left page / right page layout
by Antoine Junod 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Dear list, One more (last) problem regarding layout I can't resolve by myself: I've got a little booklet (2 A5 pages on one A4 sheet). The outside margins are colored in blue. I would like to color the left outside margin in yellow and keep the right outside margin in blue. I've read and tried to adapt the 'Alternative backgrounds' example on the wiki without any success. When I try to use leftpage (or rightpage) in \setupbackgrounds, the background of the whole left page is colored. Here is what I have right now: Thanks a lot for your reply, -AJ \definepapersize[pca4][width=212mm,height=299mm] \definepapersize[pca5][width=149.5mm, height=212mm] \setuppapersize[pca5][pca4] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \definelayout [default] [leftmargin=0mm,rightmargin=25.5mm, topspace=0mm,backspace=10mm, width=115mm,height=middle] \setuplayout[location=middle] \setuplayout[default] \setupbodyfont[sansserif,10pt] \enableregime[utf] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackgrounds [text,header,footer] % with leftpage here, doesn't work [rightmargin] [background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] \starttext Hop \page[yes] foo \page[yes] bar \stoptext

layout problem
by Antoine Junod 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Dear list, I've got two layout problems I can't resolve by myself: * On the left pages, in the left margin, there is a white stripe. I don't really understand why. I've read on the wiki that when we describe a layout for a double page layout, the left pages layout is a mirror of the right ones. And on the right ones, there are no white stripes... * My 'printer' (the company that will print the booklet for me, not sure that the good word) asks me to provide him with a document that is 2mm larger and 2mm higher that the final one to be sure he can print precisely to the exact border of the paper. I don't want to magnify the whole document as it will maybe cut some information. Any idea on how I could achive that? Linked is the pdf output. Below is the minimal example used to create the pdf output. Thanks a lot for your reply, -AJ Here is my setup: \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \definelayout [default] [leftmargin=0mm,rightmargin=24mm, topspace=0mm,backspace=10mm, width=115mm, height=middle] \setuplayout[default] \setupbodyfont[sansserif,10pt] \enableregime[utf] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor [marginblue] [c=.71,m=.58,y=0,k=.43] \setupbackgrounds [text,header,footer] [rightmargin] [background=color,backgroundcolor=marginblue] \starttext page de titre \page[yes] colophon \page[yes] \section{Le mot du président} pouet \page[yes] toujours les bêtises d'Alain \page[yes] \section{Votre comité} \stoptext

beta
by Hans Hagen 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. There are a few math fixes (but extensible top accents will be done the next few weeks because the engine needs to rupport it). There is also a changed CJK handler (on by default but that might change because of some overhead that it creates). Later this week, in Korea I'll discuss some details that are boethering me esp how to deal with crappy fonts, half width, etc. (I made some automatisms that I removed because there is too much interference and unpredictability) CJK users can get an idea with \usemodule[fnt-24] \setuplayout[topspace=1cm,bottomspace=1cm,width=middle,height=middle,header=0pt,footer=0pt] \setupcolors[state=start] \enabletrackers[cjk.analyzing] \starttext \definefontfeature [korean] [script=hang,language=kor,mode=node] \definedfont[adobesongstd-light*korean at 10pt] \setupinterlinespace \ShowCombinationsCJK (\ShowCombinationsC) \stoptext CJK users might want to get some agreement on - what exact rules are with regarde to mixes - how to deal with interference between fonts - which fonts can serve as reference - what examples to use for testing - ...

list of images with bibliography
by Mojca Miklavec 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Hello, I would like to create a normal list with bibliography (list of sources used in an article) + a list of figures, approximately like this: List of Figures Figure 1: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/skins/common/images/logo_circ_small.png Figure 2: Important, the Author: History of Everything. Town. Publisher. Year. Page 3 Figure 3: (drawn by author) Figure 4: Important, the Author: History of Everything. Town. Publisher. Year. Page 42 Figure 5: http://yet.another.url/image.png I will probably do it by hand (it will take me less time than trying to figure out the trick to do it), but I'm wondering if bib module allows something similar to this: keeping track of two bibliographf lists and then make a similar summary. Thanks a lot, Mojca
